Honorable Bernard C. ?Jack? Young
Mayor
City Hall

Dear Mayor Young:

It has been an honor for me to serve in and support your administration for
the past siX months. I deeply admire the manner in which you stepped in under
extraordinary circumstances to assume the leadership of the City. You made
difficult decisions amidst enormous stress and uncertainty and you kept the City
moving forward when many doubted that was possible. While the circumstances
prompting the change in leadership were profoundly regrettable, I am proud to
have been a part of your transition to the mayoralty.

The time has come for me, both personally and professionally, to move on,
and so I hereby advise you of my resignation as City Solicitor. With your
concurrence, I will remain in office through the end of February or until my
successor is nominated and confirmed by the Council, whichever occurs earliest. I
assure you I will do everything possible to put in place a seamless transition in the
leadership of the Law Department and to protect the City?s interests going forward.

As you know, my adult life has been one dedicated to public service. None
of that service was more rewarding for me than the two plus years I have spent in
service to the people of my beloved hometown. I will be grateful for as long as I
live that I have had this opportunity to serve.

Respectfully,

Andre Davis
City Solicitor
